Guys, he performed his FS(not SP) and landed fully rotated 4T.

This twitter is really funny and useful. Reporter checked Daisuke's every 4Ts at today's practice.

Thanks to ostile, fosse and let's talk. So it is his LP. Hope we get see a video clip soon. Is that Honda on the ice with Dai?

Fosse a new thread for a new season, thank you.

Song order for the Beatles Medley:

Yesterday, Come Together, Friends and Lovers, In My Life, of The Long and Winding Road

"Dai landed 4 quads during the one-hour open practice. but the two quads in the run-through weren't successful.
He said that considering the fatigue he had after intensive training, he had a good feeling about quads."

Thank you fosse, for the new thread!  

And thank you for the links and info for the new programs ostile!!  
Also thank you for the photo links let's talk.   

It's great to find that he's doing and feeling great. But things look moving fast toward the opening of the season I almost feel like stopping the time. (just a little  )

Sorry to put in something sort of off-topic(?).
A little clip of Shizuka talking about Dai-chan I couldn't resist putting subtitles on..

Have a great Dai-dream/Dai-fun  

So that was all??? Thirty seconds???

Thank you, ostile!  

It was just so short to feel the program, but great to see his quads.

God bless, Daisquale.

Better quality vid:

Thanks for video.
He seems to be very confident about his FP. It's really great.

Now i just wonder progressing of his SP.

I think great FP can make him win gold but great SP makes him go easy way to gold.

Thanks all for the links!

That was short.
So it's hard to tell anything. For now - I can see Carolina in his moves. I don't know why, Dai is more graceful   , sorry Caro!
But he is happy, and that is the most important thing. Great to see his beautiful split jump being included!
And yeah!!!  to the quads!


Thank you Twind for the video!
Ha ha ha, those monsters, poor baby falling asleep on the floor, and they do this to him!
Running with Shizuka is not easy!  

(I can imagine Shizuka intervening upon hearing about Dai plans to reveal his SP now - "No, no, no, your SP is for my FOI!"  )

Wow that was quick, thanks ostile!

I think this farewell LP will be a masterpiece. Just my woman's intuition and of course
Dai's talent and musicality. GO DAI!!!!  His quads are looking fabulous!

Twind thank you. Shiz shaving Dai's leg while he was sleeping was sort of a mean trick
but I know it was all done in fun.

This is so true fosse. A great SP will put him in position for the Gold. I know with COP anything can happen
but at the last Olympics the top three men in the SP ended up on the podium.

Da----i, yeah his quads are BA-----CCCCK. 

Whoops, sorry I forgot to thank Ostile and let's talk for great info.
Just got too excited. They said that Dai landed quads many many times, yeah:bounce:  

This is the real Dai, we know of , right? Easily landing 2 quads in one program.
He said [i]"I am very happy to be able to find the music that I really love. This music makes me feel that I am truly doing everything I am capable of or this Olympic. Even if I missed jumping, I really want the program to be excellent."[b]

Yes, Dai chan!! Gambare:cheers:  
you are the only one skater on this earth who can make us forget that skating is a sports!!!

Another one.

Forgot to translate.
He says," Just moving my body to this music makes me happy. Is that too much to say? I am very happy to be able to skate to this music in Olympic year,"

Dai seems to be really happy about the music. Do you remember that he said that he actually hated " Romeo and Juliet"? What is he capable of this season considering he could land quads so easily skating to the music that he hated in the past ?  

Thank you Genki!

That is wonderful!
What more we could want for him? Except Olympic gold of course!

Ganbare Dai-chan!!!

Cheers to your woman's intuition, Shyla!  That's the surest thing in the world!

After seeing another clip, that Genki linked, I'm starting to imagine the program a little. (And Caro has vanished from my thoughts   )

Thank you, Genki! 

I'm thrilled that Dai feels this much happy and positive about his FS.
He will skate it with all the love he got and we will see nothing less than a masterpiece! 

Shyla, I trust your intuition more than any other pro's forecasting!
